Energy Tips: Keep things cool

Wait until hot food has cooled down before putting it into the fridge.

Don’t keep the fridge door open any longer than necessary.

Keep fridges and freezers well away from heat sources such as cookers, dishwashers and washing machines.

If possible, site fridges and freezers out of direct sunlight, as your appliance will use more energy trying to keep cool in the sun.

Try and keep your fridge and freezer full; they will use less electricity.

If your freezer isn’t full, fill empty spaces with scrunched- up paper or bubble wrap to stop warm air circulating when it is opened.

Defrost food by putting it in the fridge the night before you want to use it. This will cool the fridge down and reduce its power consumption.

Keep the metal grids (condenser coils) at the back of fridges and freezers clean and dust-free, and not jammed up against the wall; this allows the air to circulate more easily around them, and makes them more efficient.

If you have a fitted kitchen with a built-in fridge or freezer, make sure there is ample ventilation to allow for air circulation around the condenser coils.

Defrost the fridge and freezer regularly. If the ice inside gets more than 5mm thick, the appliances become inefficient.

Consider buying an energy-efficient freezer to replace older appliances. You should recover the cost remarkably quickly.

Check the door seals on your fridge and freezer: shut the door on a note. If you can pull it out easily, or if your seals are damaged, they need replacing.
